Hopefully. Sources in the past 2 seasons have been a lot more hesitant than in the past. If I can get just one person from each taping this season, we'd be golden.

Ok, thanks for the info! I forgot about the taping schedules from those days.

It's worth noting that the tapings are 9:45 and 3:15. If I recall correctly, they used to start a little bit later in the morning? That could be another explanation.

Usually it's 2 days (3 tapings), so that's why the scheduling has been looking a bit weird this season.

Yes, the source said that that looks like a younger version of him but couldn't find any other clips of him. They said he sounds more mature now and that he did well.

The source said specifically that it was a top 48 but they didn’t specify exactly how they were aware of that

No, Amber and Jojo were at NAMM performing on Tuesday/Wednesday and neither were in LA for the week prior. Aryk posted on his story that he was volunteering/attending at NAMM, so he was working and couldn't be in.

Yes, although I'm a bit surprised she was at NAMM today. Burbank to Anaheim isn't a "short" drive and I imagine that in the few days after battles, they give the contestants some freedom before the Knockouts begin, but she was definitely the only contestant that posted from NAMM today.

So with one taping's spoilers out of the way, known post-blind teams: Kelly: (4/12) Jules Mandi Thomas Sara Collins Tayler Green Nick: (4/12) Arei Moon Jacob Miller Kevin Farris Samuel Wilco John: (2/12) Cedrice Webber Thunderstorm Artis Blake: (4/12) Cam Spinks Jamal Corrie Kailey Abel Levi Watkins Unplaced, but confirmed via promo (1) Samantha Howell (turned at least Nick, but not John) Assumed chair turner - unplaced (Based on location, social media, etc.) (11) Brandin Jay Gigi Hess Joanna Serenko Joei Fulco Jon Mullins Micah Iverson Michael Williams Tate Brusa Todd Michael Hall Todd Tilghman Toneisha Harris It's still a top 48 this season, so we have 26/48, assuming that those assumed 11 are correct.

I'll figure out the new formatting style because it doesn't let me do it how I used to for the OP lol Tayler Green https://www.instagram.com/taylergreen/ | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM4d8S2RD6OXfQD_7Wd4gwA Levi Watkins https://www.instagram.com/jameskatkins05/ (private) | Youtube not found Tayler is the green-haired girl in that Nick promo. And Levi... 14 years old.

Not sure, but since the source referred to saves, I'm gonna assume it's 1 and 1 again.

Here are the battle spoilers! This is taping 3. I'll add Tayler and Levi's information in a bit and modify Alexis Jules to just "Jules". Note: By the third taping, Blake was the only coach with a steal left. This taping actually had 7 battles - apparently there was going to be a coach performance of "Jealous" at the last taping, so they probably shifted one battle up to this taping to accommodate. BATTLES SPOILERS Winners bolded on left, steals/saves italicized. Taping 3: 1. Team Legend: Thunderstorm Artis vs. Cedrice Webber - Stay (Rihanna) - CEDRICE STOLEN BY BLAKE -Thunderstorm was a 4-chair turn and may have auditioned with Blackbird; Cedrice was the last blind audition of the season (therefore 1-chair). John called Cedrice a "goddess" -Source said the battle had a strong emotional connection and it was very well done. 2. Team Kelly: Mandi Thomas vs. Sara Collins - My Baby Loves Me (Martina McBride) -Mandi was better; Blake said both were sharp - focusing more on Sara. Kelly said Sara had no vibrato because she runs out of air, while Mandi could do a variety of genres 3. Team Kelly: Tayler Green vs. Jules - Water Under the Bridge (Adele) -Tayler was good, but Nick commented that she needed to hold back a bit on some parts -Blake said Jules' enunciation and the way she affected her voice made it hard to understand her 4. Team Blake: Levi Watkins vs. Jamal Corrie - Counting Stars (OneRepublic) -Levi is 14 and has a surprisingly big voice. -Coaches kept praising Levi as "perfect" and said Jamal was "inconsistent." Source thought that vocally, they sounded great together and it was a fun/energetic battle. 5. Team Nick: Arei Moon vs. Samuel Wilco - TBA -Voices went well together and coaches seemed to agree that it was even, Nick made his choice on personal preference. -Kelly was blocked in blinds from getting Arei. 6. Team Blake: Cam Spinks vs. Kailey Abel - TBA -The coaches thought Cam was vocally better, but Kailey had more energy -Source enjoyed the battle and they actually preferred Kailey a little bit, but agreed that Cam hit some impressive notes throughout 7. Team Nick: Jacob Miller vs. Kevin Farris - Lights Up (Harry Styles) -Kevin was inconsistent vocally while Jacob was technically perfect, but had no real "inspiration" according to John Other: -Apparently coaches can save a contestant even after they leave the stage? At least it was somehow mentioned -Nick was the most enthusiastic coach according to the source; he took notes of every contestant in a notebook -Jamal Corrie thanked "Bebe" in his goodbye speech. Bebe Rexha might be Blake's battle advisor.

Yay for the new update! I'm just waiting for the source to give me the thumbs up on posting spoilers. :)

Love the new look! But is there a minimum system requirement or anything? It's working fine on my Macbook but I spend most of my time on Idolforums on my Windows desktop instead and nothing idolforums is working. (I say minimum because my Desktop is a dinosaur running on Windows 7 but on both the Macbook and desktop I'm using Chrome.) Nevermind, it finally updated to me on the desktop. :)

Just bumping this for that last half: If the whole 5 people out for a late breakfast thing isn't a ruse, then we can count in: Joei Fulco Jon Mullins Toneisha Harris Todd Michael Hall Todd Tilghman -They would've all had to have had their battles on day 1 if they could make it to Denny's in the middle of the second day of battles taping -Not sure about Joei's age exactly, but at least the other 4 seem to be among the older (30s and up) crowd, so it's plausible they're all hanging out.

Jamal posted less than an hour ago to pray for him again. Looks like his battle's scheduled for the last taping. Also, should we be considering 2 separate contestants posting from a Denny's at around the same time to be in? Because Joei Fulco and Jon Mullins both posted shots an hour ago from Denny's. It's just super convenient, especially when neither of them are the super active on Instagram type. Edit: Toneisha Harris, Todd Michael Hall, and Todd Tilghman each posted something separate from Denny's too :ph34rwave: Edit to the Edit: Ok so Todd Michael Hall's doesn't specifically say Denny's but it's posted at the same time as everyone else above did so I'm just assuming. Also, seems pretty late in the day to be at Denny's 2 hours ago. That's more than a coincidence.

Not yet, but I've reached out. We'll more than likely be getting some for day 2 though.

Jamal Corrie posted from the hotel room this morning. Both photos from the story are definitely in there. Probably a day 2 battle if he's not at the lot?

Definitely not in: Amaya Murillo (home) Amber Sweeney (not in LA - has been with family for several days) Bryton Stoll (show tonight) Caiden Brewer (shows) Cassidy Lee (home) Chan Fuze (worked CES in Vegas; was at home days before/no time for rehearsal) Charly Reynolds (home) Chloe Schoemann (home) Emily Bass (show) Haley Gosserand (stories have all been from home) Harry Jay (show scheduled 1/25) Hunter Douglas (home/show w/ Maggie & Will) Jackson Roltgen (show) Jared Harper (show) Jenny Voss (home) Jojo Scott (home) Krystalanne (home) Maggie James (show w/ Hunter & Will) Matt Farris (show 1/17) McKayla Marie (show 1/17) Melissa Bret (shows) Shelby Winfrey (home) Slater Johnson (home) Tamika J (home/not at hotel) Will Trotman (show w/ Maggie & Hunter)

Really bizarre with Micah and I honestly think it’s somehow trolling lol. He was definitely in the hotel room a couple days ago and the barbershop he mentioned was near the hotel as well. Can’t find a barbershop with the same exact name near Atlanta online (although one has a close-ish name) I’m thinking the fact that he says to DM him for info might be part of a ruse there lol.

To anyone that was holding out on hope for Emily Bass or Tamika J: Emily Bass has a show tonight in Houston, and Tamika J's been doing several things this week that wouldn't leave her any time for the show. They're not in. -Todd Tilghman's got the headboard in his story today. Todd's in. Presumed chair turners: Arei Moon Brandin Jay Cedrice Webber Gigi Hess Joanna Serenko Micah Iverson Todd Tilghman Likely a chair turner but I'll step back a bit on him because his whole deleting his separate Instagram account could potentially be a coincidence: Tate Brusa

Thanks!

-Arei Moon seems to be in as well based off her headboard. She had something yesterday on her story that had me thinking she was in (can't remember what it was) but now with the headboard in her story, it seems likely that she's in. -Brandin Jay's story has a part in his story where he's pointing at the TV/something about cartoons. The TV stand looks like the hotel rooms. I was gonna compare it to Cedrice's story from yesterday, but sadly the part where she showed it is expired. Strongly leaning towards Brandin being in, but I want to compare it to the furniture in another photo first.
